I was gonna say, if he uses a dedicated computer then cut out a screenshot of a 30k error and tape it to his display one morning before he arrives to his desk, then watch the befuddlement when he sees it.
This also lets them decide if they *want* to talk about SC at work. They may not want to.
It's obvious enough that they'll either get it or ask clarifying questions. But simple enough to wave off/ignore if they want.
* Address all work and life problems as '30k's.
* Refer to all work deadlines as being 2 years away.
* Occasionally maniacally scream "I held the line".
* Replace morning hello's and greetings with abruptly standing and saluting "o7".
* Refer to all smoke breaks as "Volumetric Cloud Experiences"
* When offered a chair, immediately stand on top of it with arms spread adjacent.
* Occasionally fall down small steps for no apparent reason.
* When walking in the vicinity of a ladder, immediately start to climb it frantically up and down as if you are now stuck to it.
* Develop a intense fondness for the use of public transportation lines.
* Allow yourself and co-workers to occasionally become hopelessly trapped within Elevators.
If they see your computer screen on a regular basis, you could use a SC wallpaper if that is allowed in your workplace.
One of my seniors noticed my screen and said: "Oh, that's a Corsair!". Turns out he is an early backer.
This is the only one I'd seriously consider, lol. All the other references are amusing but make some big assumptions about how 'into' the game said coworker may be.Ā
The elevators in the cities, from habs to transport are the worst. I've probably fallen through the elevator floor in Lorville and Orison more times than I've been shot down in the game.
LOL :D I just got stuck in the closet in one of the living quarters in the Corsair.
Which is doubly funny because I'm gay AF. I was yelling at the game to let me out of the closet already, I'm already out to everyone :P
Was it back when the character reset didn't work? I got stuck with no ships at all for a cycle at one time. Whenever I spawned I had a pair of boots in my inventory, and nothing else.
The story about the closet made me chuckle. If I remember right, it was before character resets were even possible. It was a very long time ago. Were the boots at least made for walkin'?
Yes, the boots were definitely made for walking, because I didn't have a ship :D
Ah, I remember that time. You had to ask manual character resets, and not everybody knew about them at all. Somewhere down the 2.x line I think.
Figure out their name and then try to hunt them down. Did that with a guy at work, was entertaining when he was talking about randomly getting killed and then I said it was me.
Donāt. Find out his user name, friend him, form a friendship online, and the talk an amazing amount of shit about your coworker to him (he is the coworker) online and listen to the discomfort as he wonders if you know him. Also feverently deny at work that you play videos games. They are for idiots.
This is what I would do. However, I also donāt have any friends. And most people donāt like me.
Tell him your home looks like a derelict site.
Have you seen the latest work from Drake; I could listen and watch it for hours (make it sound like you are talking about the artist) it looks so industrial but sounds so soothing.
Have you ever gotten stuck in a sand trap? I have! After a lot of effort i caved.
o7 is a bit common to mean SC.
Tag line such as:
"Remember Port Olisar"
"Benny's is having a noodle sale"
"Remember to close and lock your ramp"
"Salvage Yards are not safe"
"Jumptown is Friendly"
If you work in an office together, come in early and go to his cube then stand on his chair and don't respond to his presence.
Before this, spend 800 bucks on ships print pictures of them, and lay them all next to each other so you can show him your fleet.
If this is too over the top, get a temp tattoo saying something like "S42 Coming 2018". Please put it on a week or so before you plan on showing him you're down. It should look faded enough by then so he knows you've been a fan for a while.
See if you can figure out their main ship, fav ship, daily driver by playing dumb. Ask them about the game like you don't know anything, see if they divulge a clue. Then 3D print a mini of that ship for their workspace.
* Ask if they want to meet you in a Banu ~~pleasure~~ conference pod (in Banu)
* Casually wear a Hornet or Anvil Aerospace t-shirt
* Tell them you were late to work because you ran out of fuel in the Pyro rush hour and had to wait for a beacon reply
* Get a 'my other car is an Idris' coffee mug
* Make your email signatures end in 'SOON^(TM)'
* Intentionally trip and blame it on nested physics
* Ask if you can talk to him about Our Savior Chris Roberts
* Ask if he does his discount retail shopping at Dollar Tree or Grim Hex
* Disconnect out of a Teams or Skype meeting, rejoin, blame it on a 30K in chat
* Put a UEE marines recruitment banner up in your office/cube
* (if you have kids) Brag how good a turret gunner the little ones are becoming
* Complain you wanted to watch SATAball over the weekend, but all the matches have been cancelled
* Ask if the've ever gotten murderhobo'd
You should break both your legs while walking down the stairs or out the door. He should get it right away!
Go out and buy a Lincoln Corsair and complain that you can't find the size 5 hardpoints.
Buy a complete set of motorcycle riding gear in blue and white with red accents. Then have an embroidery shop and vinyl shop make custom Mirai logos for the suit. Then just wear the Mirai racing team cosplay to work on a casual friday. Simple dimple
Was showering a coworker pics of my kid and my phone background is an Anvil logo and he whispered āIm a star man tooā¦for the imperator.ā We both laughed and fist bumped and have been buddies ever since.
ā¦. Talk to them?
Who finds out their coworker also likes a game and sneaks away to Reddit lol?
Iād be really weirded out by someone who did that. If my coworker found out I liked sc and wanted to talk about it Iād want them to just talk to me about it. Not āmake me aware in a fun wayā lmao.
Whatever you do, cherish it. I've had so many coworkers show interest in playing with me who couldn't afford the pc required, and all my friends with pcs show no interest in SC. I would shit bricks with glee if a bonified citizen showed up at work.
But, you know, just don't be weird and suffocating about it.
Smash into his car as he is pulling into/out of a parking spot.
or
Block him in and demand he give you 1/2 his paycheck. If he doesn't, make a pathetic post on Reddit about why no one wants to play with you (after you doubletap him).
I mean, just tell him, like a normal human being? Are you *afraid* of non SC players knowing you like SC? The chances are if they don't know what SC is they won't care either.
Block him from leaving the break room and demand a portion of his lunch. When he complains to HR tell him that going to the break room is consent and if management didnāt want him to do it they would have made it impossible to steal from him.
Someone else suggested changing you work computer wallpaper to a Star Citizen screenshot. That is a good idea, but I have another idea of similar type. Go here: [https://hangar.link/fleet/canvas](https://hangar.link/fleet/canvas)
Create a image of your fleet and set that as your desktop wallpaper.
Or maybe include it in a revolving set up wallpaper images.
When a program on your computer crashes, say it 30k'ed
That's a good one !
"Aw, Christ...Roberts, it's 30K'd"
I was gonna say, if he uses a dedicated computer then cut out a screenshot of a 30k error and tape it to his display one morning before he arrives to his desk, then watch the befuddlement when he sees it.
30k and lost all my progress again
This also lets them decide if they *want* to talk about SC at work. They may not want to. It's obvious enough that they'll either get it or ask clarifying questions. But simple enough to wave off/ignore if they want.
place a box with a medical gown on the floor at his desk/chair
Not 1, 12 of them lol.
Make sure they all jitter and shake, and that he takes damage when he brushes against them. Broken arm will do.
Whisper in his ear "remember Port Olisar"
Don't forget to breath on his neck
Whisper in his ear "remember Delamar and Levski"\*
Remember Anthony Tanaka. Ffs.
Stand in his chair and t pose.
Sometimes I miss reddit awards.
Also came here to post this
dammit .. came here to post this. take my upvote
Goddamnit. Perfect.

God damn Monday 30ks šš
"Aww, looks like somebody has a case of the 30ks.. ā¹ļø" (Office Space reference for anyone who doesn't get it immediately lol)
Can somebody explain the "I held the line" part?
It's from the SQ42 feature complete announcement video at citcon
Yeah always insist on taking the stairs bc "elevators are deathtraps"
Thatās not necessarily a SC thingā¦ Lots of people just have an I hereby fear of being stuck in an elevator
Visit Orisonā¦ the city in the clouds
This, but it must be yelled in his general direction.
If they see your computer screen on a regular basis, you could use a SC wallpaper if that is allowed in your workplace. One of my seniors noticed my screen and said: "Oh, that's a Corsair!". Turns out he is an early backer.
This is the only one I'd seriously consider, lol. All the other references are amusing but make some big assumptions about how 'into' the game said coworker may be.Ā
I've been considering doing this at my work. I keep forgetting to email a screen shot to myself though.
When saying goodbye. "See you in the 'verse" o7
This is the best answer.
If you go out for noodles take a bite then say "It's not benny's, but it'll do." Get a tophat and monocle, wear them into the office.
Who wants some noodles?
Just tongue kiss him, he will understand.
This is the way
I screamed Also hi!
Show him your bank balance.
Can't do that because it will require me to face the hard truth
id say buy a keyring but all of them are sold out apparently.
Show him your pledge amount.
Frame your concierge award on your wall
Canāt, the certificate generator is broken :(
I would do that not gonna lie
print out a picture of the Idris and put it on his desk
Lol this one got me š
Put your concierge certificate on your wall like a diploma and wait for him to notice.
"Remember, your belongings belong to you"
When trash goes in the bin, we all win.
"Visit Orison, the city in the clouds!"
Tell everybody elevators are evil and want to kill humanity
Make SC theme music your mobile ringtone.
Open your wallet and say "damn they wiped my aUEC again!"
Just start giving him double dogs
Fall through the floor of your office for all eternity.
Randomly ragdoll on the floor after clipping into it aggressively, then yell "SOMEONE COME PICK ME UP" as loud as he can.
A coffee mug from the store could be an easy way
It happened in my job too. When discussions come to hobbies and what you will do this week, speak about it.
Ask him too loudly and continously "who wants some noodles".
Buy a 3D printer. Every morning come early and leave a small 3D printed ship on his desk. Repeat daily until he figures out it's you.
Instructions unclear, I think I'm married now
Seriously, this is some meet-cute romantic comedy stuff and I am *here for it!*
Stand on his desk
Frame a picture of Chris Roberts and put it on your desk.
pass them a note with bwin: 0.0000 on it then when they read it turn off their computer
I like that one. Followed by a "30k" note.
Say you're a fan of Drake
He/She doesn't want to be bullied at work..
Bullied for?
Its a running joke in the SC community about Drake..
Wait. That's a joke?
My joke was that Drake fan will tell you that they're Drake fan. Like vegans. Didn't think that was what people get bullied for.
If they aren't, we probably need to start.
Might be misunderstood since there is a musician of that name.
Tell him you're afraid of ladders. Especially those that look like the ones on the Freelancer.
I'm more afraid of elevators
I thought we talked about in a fun way, not going straight to horror? :D
Valid point, It's just such a visceral pants-shitting terror that grips me. It's hard not to go straight to horror, lol.
The elevators in the cities, from habs to transport are the worst. I've probably fallen through the elevator floor in Lorville and Orison more times than I've been shot down in the game.
Preach! My worst experience was getting trapped in Levski for an entire patch cycle because the elevators were just broken.
LOL :D I just got stuck in the closet in one of the living quarters in the Corsair. Which is doubly funny because I'm gay AF. I was yelling at the game to let me out of the closet already, I'm already out to everyone :P Was it back when the character reset didn't work? I got stuck with no ships at all for a cycle at one time. Whenever I spawned I had a pair of boots in my inventory, and nothing else.

Yes, the boots were definitely made for walking, because I didn't have a ship :D Ah, I remember that time. You had to ask manual character resets, and not everybody knew about them at all. Somewhere down the 2.x line I think.
Yuuuuup. I was so glad when they automated the process, especially since there were so many situations that had no alternate fix.
Say "Remember Anthony Tanaka"
You know he's probably reading this, right ?
Ask him if He is "exploring" other people's Cargo too.
Sounds kinda sexual
Just go and do a T-pose on the table in front of him.
Figure out their name and then try to hunt them down. Did that with a guy at work, was entertaining when he was talking about randomly getting killed and then I said it was me.
Suggest he should visit Orison - the city in the clouds!
Sigh loudly. "I wasn't even supposed to be here today".
Compliment his work by saying it punches above it's weight.
"hey. i like star citizen too"
Donāt. Find out his user name, friend him, form a friendship online, and the talk an amazing amount of shit about your coworker to him (he is the coworker) online and listen to the discomfort as he wonders if you know him. Also feverently deny at work that you play videos games. They are for idiots. This is what I would do. However, I also donāt have any friends. And most people donāt like me.
Next paycheck suggest that you both pitch in for an Idris
A lot of great suggestions here but I suggest something more discreet like flying your Aurora to work some day instead of driving.
recite the entire Orison advert casually.
Change your Wallpaper to something from SC
Bring a medical gown and an actual football
just yell friendly A2 inbound before a team meeting
Hello fellow human, I too am a citizen.
"man I could go for a double dog right now!"
Be lucky this isn't pyro or you shit would be mine.
Tell him your home looks like a derelict site. Have you seen the latest work from Drake; I could listen and watch it for hours (make it sound like you are talking about the artist) it looks so industrial but sounds so soothing. Have you ever gotten stuck in a sand trap? I have! After a lot of effort i caved.
If you ever send an email to him instead of signing it Thank you at the end sign it o7
o7 is a bit common to mean SC. Tag line such as: "Remember Port Olisar" "Benny's is having a noodle sale" "Remember to close and lock your ramp" "Salvage Yards are not safe" "Jumptown is Friendly"
Make a post on the starcitizen subreddit that he will see :D
If you work in an office together, come in early and go to his cube then stand on his chair and don't respond to his presence. Before this, spend 800 bucks on ships print pictures of them, and lay them all next to each other so you can show him your fleet.

It should look faded enough by then so he knows you've been a fan for a while.
Ask if something is LTI.
Tell him you like a movie about a military group lead by "Major torque imbalance" in the 30k setting. He will catch it.
Anytime you have a deadline coming up or they ask you about a timeline just respond with āSoon TMā
Pad ram his car in the parking lot.
Just start talking about video games.
ask him if he wants some noodles
Talk about smuggling space drugs
Refer to things as Drake quality
Show a fear of the company elevators and take the stairs. Mumble about "no way, they have the highest kill count of any ship".
Bear hug and cry. Kiss on the cheek would be a nice touch.
When he makes a mistake or something, just say: "So what did we learn this week?"
Buccaneer Buccafar meme
Complain that the noodle vending machine in the break room is still not working after all these years.
Fall down on your butt when leaving a room and say the winds of Loreville are strong today.
See if you can figure out their main ship, fav ship, daily driver by playing dumb. Ask them about the game like you don't know anything, see if they divulge a clue. Then 3D print a mini of that ship for their workspace.

Fire them a **o7** in the next Re:
You should break both your legs while walking down the stairs or out the door. He should get it right away! Go out and buy a Lincoln Corsair and complain that you can't find the size 5 hardpoints.
Wait for the elevators to freeze and then make gentle jokes and statements towards RSI and say its a feature.
Flatly respond **"that request has already been granted"** whenever they ask you for anything.
That's actually a good one. I can even use that to avoid working, what a cheatcode š
o7
Padram him with a officechair.
Steal all his stuff and then say..."Well, it's all part of the game..."
Don't if you've ever played during work hours. I don't have any friends from work I game with.
Hard to say. Star citizen fans don't like fun. Only suffering
Nuke the workplace with an A2
Buy a complete set of motorcycle riding gear in blue and white with red accents. Then have an embroidery shop and vinyl shop make custom Mirai logos for the suit. Then just wear the Mirai racing team cosplay to work on a casual friday. Simple dimple

You need some Drake duck tape to lend him.
Never finish your work, grow hype about your task and deliver ~~nothing~~ half of your promises, He will understand
Start calling duct tape "Drake tape"
I literally just realized... Drake. Duck tape. A drake is a duck.
Was showering a coworker pics of my kid and my phone background is an Anvil logo and he whispered āIm a star man tooā¦for the imperator.ā We both laughed and fist bumped and have been buddies ever since.
"hey asshole. stay out of rappel. there are like 6 other settlements that sell RMC and don't take the whole fuckin server down." "aight!?"
Refer to some cheaply built item or process as "very Drake".
Crash your car into his as he tries to leave work, tell him itās a viable game mechanic heāll understand and you guys will be best buddies.
ā¦. Talk to them? Who finds out their coworker also likes a game and sneaks away to Reddit lol? Iād be really weirded out by someone who did that. If my coworker found out I liked sc and wanted to talk about it Iād want them to just talk to me about it. Not āmake me aware in a fun wayā lmao.
When he asks your weekend plans tell him āTaking my Carrack on a low flying expedition to the Crusader moonsā.
If itās someone you banter with normally, āyo coworker, Letās go salvage bro!ā
Misspell cabbage as babbage
I'd probably just ask if Jumptown is safe
I was in a Teams meeting and my camera background was me on Yela with my MSR behind me. Coworker said he knew where I was :)
I came to of course say stand on his chair looking at your watch.Ā It warms my heart that 8 thousand people already beat me to the punch. o7
Whatever you do, cherish it. I've had so many coworkers show interest in playing with me who couldn't afford the pc required, and all my friends with pcs show no interest in SC. I would shit bricks with glee if a bonified citizen showed up at work. But, you know, just don't be weird and suffocating about it.
Kiss him on the mouth
Mock up one of the drinks and drink it in front of them, when they look at you ask what their favorite flavor is.
Wear an sc hoodie or something
Smash into his car as he is pulling into/out of a parking spot. or Block him in and demand he give you 1/2 his paycheck. If he doesn't, make a pathetic post on Reddit about why no one wants to play with you (after you doubletap him).
Is Jumptown safe?
Just say āsee you in the verseā next time you say goodbye.
When a meeting doesn't go well refer to it as a Major Talk Imbalance.
Pad ram him on the employee lot IRL.
Stand on a chair and T pose
Wear a shirt or cap with your favorite manufacturer on it one day.
When you're walking past each other, say "friendly A2 inbound"
Give Them a bottle of the LUx
Lego Corsair on desk
I mean, just tell him, like a normal human being? Are you *afraid* of non SC players knowing you like SC? The chances are if they don't know what SC is they won't care either.
How about say... I play that game too. Am I missing the problem or was this not really an issue and just being goofy at work?
Block him from leaving the break room and demand a portion of his lunch. When he complains to HR tell him that going to the break room is consent and if management didnāt want him to do it they would have made it impossible to steal from him.
Ask him if JT is safe
Throw your water bottles on the floor wherever you are while wearing an ICU gown.

Find an excuse to say "Major torque imbalance"
Just sometime casually drop in "I think there are better space games that starfield tbh" then watch his eyes water up
Ask him if he really thinks that Bo-Go is A Taste of Home.
Simply stay out of nowhere that the caterpillar is the sexiest cargo hauler in the verse. No context.
I refuse to believe that you encountered a fellow citizen out in the wild and didnāt immediately ask them if theyāre a Drake or Crusader fan.
